Angie - if you haven't already found it, Hotmail does have 'Not junk' option. If you go down to 'Junk' and open that box you'll see it after 'New' and 'Delete'. You can then use the 'Move to' option to move the message(s) to the inbox.

Aileen... innocent question, why do you prefer to delete your posts rather than just edit them?

This sounds totally stupid - but I don't really know why I started doing it. Maybe just some sort of 'senile' eccentricity I guess. Anyway a couple of members have also pointed it out, so I'll make an effort to stop the habit.
